The core of this research revolves around distributed optimization algorithms. It specifically tackles a co-optimization problem that concurrently optimizes data processing (for ML) and the allocation of CPU resources across a network of computing nodes. The proposed algorithm is designed to ensure all-time feasibility of resource-demand balance, a critical feature distinguishing it from methods that achieve feasibility only asymptotically.
The paper applies its co-optimization framework to distributed machine learning (ML), showcasing its applicability to models like Support Vector Machines (SVM) and linear/logistic regression. The ML loss functions are integrated into the overall optimization problem, allowing local training on each node's share of data while coordinating globally for optimal resource usage.
A key innovation is addressing log-scale quantization over information-sharing channels in time-varying networks. This approach mitigates quantization errors common in distributed setups, especially for limited networking traffic. The algorithm's convergence is robust even with dynamic network topologies and quantized data exchange, thanks to perturbation theory and Lyapunov stability analysis.
The algorithm's performance is rigorously analyzed, demonstrating convergence to the optimal case even with log-scale quantized information exchange. A major highlight is its all-time feasibility, meaning resource-demand constraints are met at every iteration, preventing violations. Simulations confirm its efficiency and superior cost optimality gap compared to existing CPU scheduling solutions, often by more than 50%.

For linear regression, 1000 randomly generated 2D data points were fitted, achieving optimal resource allocation and regressor line consensus across nodes, even with heterogeneous data distribution. These simulations highlight the algorithm's robustness and efficiency in practical ML scenarios with distributed data.
